I think your giving yourself a hardtime over nothing mate. You need a much bigger sample to know how well your beating the SNG's. My ROI was 29% over my first 500-600 games and felt like i couldn't be touched. Since then i have been breakeven for like 2-3 months and its frustrating as hell but thats poker for you.
Changing site wont stop the bad beats. Take a break and clear your head

I wouldn't be limping on the SB with a weak ace early in an SNG. No need to get involved, just fold preflop and avoid the tough spots your getting yourself into.

And imagine that i play 6-7 hours per day 6 tables and i loose one two tables that way.I am very frustrated and first time in weeks now i tilted a lot.I play bad i run worst and i cant really focus on game and i focus on bad beats and coolers.So a quick sum up is bad play+run bad=little profits+not enjoy the game.The tilted mode i am drive so crazy today that i bluffed all hands when we remained 3 people and in all heads up play.Maybe i need a quick break to refresh my psychology a bit.I read no more people i play only the cards and i play far far away from my A game.
Sick tilted finish distirbutions for today in 36 sit n gos: (worse than worst) ♠_o:

My graph for today: (so sick and you can easily see that i play bad because my lines are like drunk vampires 
)
Maybe some people say ''come on mate you run bad you play bad but still you are winning'',but i respectfully disagree ♠_cry: ♠_cry: ♠_cry:
My graph for the last three days(drunk also):
I had to withdraw all my bankroll for two reasons.One i bought a new pc and second i fear of the black friday consequenses(wrong spelling).I left only 154$ meaning 28bis.I ll start my challenge again without withdrawing any money any more maybe only 100$ per month.I ll move up when i reach 120bi for 11$reg(no turbo for me,if i tilted in reg then turbo variance will kill me ♠_o: )
New starting bankroll:154$
Ps first time in my life i am waiting rakeback from pokerstrategy like mad
Good luck man, this blog looks just like my old ones. ♠_o: You need to find a way to redirect your efforts. Forget about bad beats, you can't play thinking and whining like this all the time, you're wasting a ton of mental energy into overthinking everything and focusing on bad beats/downtrends and this undoubtedly affects mindset and play quality.
Something new I'm doing which I think is working although the sample is small so far : make and follow some rules in your blog. For example :
- No whining about bad streaks
- No mentioning and definitely no posting bad beats hands
- Look for the positive side in everything that happens and post about positive developments consistently
- Limit post length like that you don't get onto rambling about bad beats even when you started the post positively
I guess I don't have the results show and say "look this is how I beat online poker and reached the high stakes" but I do think I have a reasonable online poker experience after 3 years playing and I have reached some useful conclusions.
My old blog :
https://www.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=84060
Gawd just makes me sick to see that blog, all the wasted time writing all those negative posts
My new simplified blog :
https://www.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=119862
Almost forgot one new rule I'm really loving :
- No editing posts
I think that one is a killer. When you're editing your posts you're obviously overanalyzing everything too much and getting too caught up with things.
♠_love: xaxa i loved the last one..I ll keep in mind these things.Yes i am trying to beat online poker.Yes i have some decent profits.But yes i work in my game.I agree with all the things you said above and i feel better when i read them.I now start reading your blogs

Hahaha it will be impossible to read it all .. and pointless I think. It's too boring and filled with stories of bad beats and bad mindset. I think all that's important are my conclusions after writing all that all those years. And actually I can't find my 1st blog to link, which is by far the longest and most whining filled one. The ones I posted above are my 2nd and 3rd blogs.
Anyway, keep the hard work up. The effort you are making is noticeable, but might be better channeled.
Thanks a lot for your words.Btw i read ALL posts of your blogs ♦ .You whined a lot and while i read it i understood how miserable for a reader is to whine for bad beats
I am the only one who requested from full tilt to withdraw with bank tranfer method and is approved?the money are not deposited to my bank account yet but i did the request in sunday, so maybe its normal
I am currently playing in my new laptop with one more monitor connected.It is way more easy to multitable with two monitors than crush your eyes tying to see chips ♠_love: I am expecting my new monitor tomorrow and then i ll be the master ♦ Btw i really think that the best option is a laptop with one or/and two monitors connected than a table pc
My new workroom: ♠_love: ♠_love: ♠_love:
Today i played only two session of 17 tourneys total.I update so early because i probably will not play again for two reasons.I ll play some football manager and i need to study the new regulars i met in my sessions.In my sessions i focused too much in 3 and 2 players play thats why i finished only one time second.Instead i finished four times first and three times third ♠_cool:
Note for today:First time in my life i saw a regular speed sit n go reaching blinds 250/500 when still four people remained.And i definitely enjoyed that.I believe if that happens every time it will be so tedious but it will be very very pleasant if happens once in a while ♠_love:
My graph for today:
I am very very happy with my play.I believe i played near perfect making only some small mistakes but i ll review my sessions and try to improve them

Today i received my new monitor which is really awesome and i started playing right away!!!!
I was so excited that i motivate myself to play 9 tables instead of 6 that i am playing.So i played two sessions of nine tables each in which i runned pretty good BUT because poker isnt playing only the cards but the people too i played terrible and i had two loosing sessions.THank god the losses where tiny.If i remember right about 10$ in each session.The ugly think about 9 tabling straight from 6 is that i could not take notes in people so i can exploit them.I drop down to seven tables where there is no difference between 6 and seven and i do it pretty good.So in my last session i switched again in 8 tables and played very good run better as a result a big profit that covered my loosing ones.I hope i could run like this all year.To sum up i see some old fishes came back and some regulars and weak players from 11$ playing in 5.50$.The games end approximately 1 blind level after they used to but its not boring...yet ♠_love: ♠_love: ♠_love:
PS focusing on heads up make big profits.I try to play my A game in each heads up.I went 9 times in 1v1 finishing 6 times first.Thats why i didnt have big looses but small looses.And not small profits but big profits ♠_cool: So people focus a lot in 1v1.It makes huge difference in $

Yesterday bankroll:205$
Today bankroll:244$

Anyways nice setup and i suggest you look at your last post everytime you make a bad beat to remember...that you give them also 
επρεπε να φτασω ως το τελος του Blog για να καταλαβω οτι εισαι ελληνας ? !
εγω επαιζα στο Full Tilt, ξεκινησα με τα 50$ και τα εχω κανει 400$ αλλα λογο ενως προβληματος σταματησα και εβαλα 100$ στο Pokerstars και ξεκινησα τα 1.75$ 9-man Turbos.
στα 5.5$ στο Full Tilt ειχα αρκετα καλο ROI και ενιωθα πολυ ανετα για το limit.
σε αντιθεση με το Pokerstars που μετα απο 1000 Turbos ειμαι -40$ +60$ τα bonus = 20$ κερδος μονο.
στο Pokerstars νιωθω τελειως αβολα, μπαινω all-in AK-A7 πχ. και χανω, κ λεω την μια οκ bat beat, αλλα τελικα χανω περιπου τα μισα dominating χερια.
τεσπα καλη τυχη φιλε, θα ακολουθω το Blog σου και αν ποτε θες μπορουμε να skypeαρουμε για προπονηση.

Sorry for my greek guyz, i just realized that we are from the same country.
in a few words i told him that i used to play at full tilt and turned 50$ to 400$ and was playing 5.5s regular and they were really soft.
but unfortunately something happened and i was forced to change site and deposited 100$ at Pokerstars and play 1.75$ Turbos 6-tabling and i just can't beat the limit.
i lose more of the coin flips, i even lose about half hands when i have the other guy dominating. and of course i go all-in preflop AKs vs 79o,for example, and, guess what?, i lose again
at Pokerstars my BR is 120$ i've cleared 60$ of bonus and im -40$ after 1K tourneys. i really think that i'm not a fish and i put my money in with the best hand but i can't explaing my negative roi.
i'll follow this blog and try to practice more and discuss
but im really confused cause i can't understand why 5.5s reg @ Full Tilt seem so soft to me and 1.75s turbos @ Pokerstars seem so MESS.
